Definitely get an impact screwdriver, and if you don't have one already - a torque wrench.

I have a DOHC and have also found the valve lifter very helpful when replacing shims and the 90 degree screwdriver invaluable when dialing in my air/fuel mix.

I also ended up buying a carb sync tool, but you could build or borrow one if you need to sync your carbs.

For the vast majority of stuff though, it's a good set of metric tools that I use the most.  I got a stubby set of Husky wrenches for like $12 on sale and a regular set of Husky wrenches for around $15 on sale.

I already had a decent metric socket set.
